Cataract Surgery

I am going to set up cataract surgery soon.  I had trabeculectomy surgery already on the same eye.  The surgery caused a "fold" in the eye and the pressure is still low.  Should I go thru cataract surgery or is there something else I should do?

That's why I am a little worried about the cataract surgery.  The glaucoma surgery was successful in lowering the pressure but I lost the clear vision I had.  The slope on top of my eye has also caused astigmatism which should be correct with the cataract surgery.  What questions should I ask my specialist?

There is probably more to this than you are describing.  The surgeon must also be planning something for the hypotony (low pressure).
